Creativity works best for developers if they feel that their efforts are “managed” by an independent party. <br /><br />I do however feel that the plug-ins that are Oracle “certified” should be clearly indicated.<br /><br />JohannesJohanneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14332647815367577750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20567072.post-89016842980041706502010-01-12T14:11:58.702+01:002010-01-12T14:11:58.702+01:00I&#39;ve already seen no less than like 5 differen...I&#39;ve already seen no less than like 5 different bloggers setting up various sites, groups, google things for plugins.<br /><br />Personally it should really just be handled through Oracle sort of how Apple handles the App Store or how jquery indexes plugins. Not as rigid for submission, but if you want an app, you go one place. Everyone makes sure the most up-to-date plugin is on Oracle&#39;s site, and then everyone is happy.<br /><br />What I think will inevitably happen is you&#39;ll get a graveyard of sites that started out storing all these plugins, but people will get other jobs, or whatever and will never update the sites. So you&#39;ll get outdated plugins and that doesn&#39;t help anyone.<br /><br />Just look at what happened with the slew of wikis, blogs and sourceforge projects...etc - haven&#39;t been updated in years. This it the fate of disparate plugin registries too. <br /><br />That&#39;s just my 2 cents anyway.Buzz Killingtonnoreply@blogger.com
